Introduction
The PD6938 VantageView+ pulse input flow
rate/totalizers can be installed in a variety of harsh
operating environments to provide convenient and
informative display of flow rate and total from any
pulse output flowmeter. These instruments will accept
a variety of pulse inputs, including slow pulse rates.
They can be powered from a battery, 9-30 VDC, or
the 4-20 mA output loop, have on-board datalogging
capabilities, operate down to -40°C, and can be
ordered with optional 4-20 mA output and two relays.
The PD6938, with the addition of its two optional
relays, can also be used as a simple batch controller.
One of the most convenient features of these
instruments is their dual-line display, which is typically
used to display the flow rate on the top display and
flow total, flow grand total, or a tag on the bottom
display. The top display has five characters and the
bottom display has eight characters for clear
indication of tags, units, or alarm messages. Further
enhancing the display on these instruments is a
20-segment bargraph and backlighting that can turn
red during an alarm condition.
The PD6938 VantageView+ come in a rugged plastic
NEMA 4X / IP66 enclosure that is designed for easy
use and installation. The enclosure comes with three
3/4" NPT conduit holes and two plastic conduit plugs.
Field wiring is made to removable screw terminals
and the display module can be oriented in 4 different
positions to accommodate different mounting
configurations and requires no tools to install. The
display has been designed to optimize viewing angle.
Free, PC-based, MeterView XL software that
connects to the meter via a micro-USB cable is
available for programming and setup of the
instruments. Four CapTouch through-window buttons
are available to operate the instrument without
removing the cover.
All models come equipped with two open collector
outputs and a digital input. There are also models
available with Modbus RTU RS-485 communications,
two solid-state relays, and isolated 4-20 mA analog
output options. The open collector outputs are useful
for alarm indication or pulse output. The digital input
can be used to reset the total, to start/stop a
timer/stopwatch, to start/stop a batch, and more. The
relays can be programmed for alarm indication, on/off
control, or simple batch control.
